Evidence of charge transfer at the Cu-phthalocyanine/AI(100) lnterface (Reprinted from J. Phys. Chem A, vol 111, 2007) RID G-7348-2011
No full textElectronic and structural properties of the CuPc/A1(100) organic-inorganic interface were investigated by means of a multitechnique experimental approach based on synchrotron radiation. The chemical selectivity of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to investigate the electronic structure of copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) as a function of the molecular thickness ranging from the submonolayer to 40 angstrom. Photoemission from core levels shows a dramatic alteration of the electronic structure of molecules localized at the interface. At the lowest CuPc coverages, the complete reduction of the oxidation state of copper was observed, while C 1s and N 1s shake-up satellites were no longer visible. Both findings are explained with a sizable charge transfer from the substrate to the molecule involving the b(1g) (Cu 3d-derived) and the LUMO hybridized with the substrate conduction band. The linear polarization of the synchrotron light was employed in X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) to determine the orientation of CuPc molecules. Molecular planes oriented almost perpendicular with respect to the metal surface were observed from the second layer on
Electron-electron coincidence spectroscopies at surfaces
No full textIn the past 20 years, a steadily increasing number of electron-electron coincidence experiments on atoms and molecules have contributed to a deeper understanding of electron-electron correlation effects. In more recent years this technique has been extended to the study of solid surfaces. This class of one photon IN two electrons OUT experiments will be discussed with an emphasis on grazing incidence geometry, that is expected to be particularly suited for studying surfaces. The crucial question of which is the dominant mechanism that leads to ejection of pairs of electron from the surface will be addressed. It will be shown that, depending on the kinematics chosen, the correlated behaviour of the pairs of electrons detected might be singled out from independent particle one.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Copper-phthalocyanine induced reconstruction of Au(110)
No full textThe structure of ultrathin Cu-phthalocyanine (Cu-Pc) film on Au(110) has been studied by means of several diffraction tecniques: helium atom scattering (HAS), low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD). HAS has been used to measure the long range order of the organic overlayer, whereas LEED at 200 eV has been used to probe the corresponding substrate reconstruction. At the monolayer coverage, the Au(110) substrate displays a reconstruction with a 3-fold periodicity along the [001] direction, whose structure has been studied by out of plane GIXD and variable polarization X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES). We found the structure of the substrate unit cell to be an asymmetric shallow (1 x 3) reconstruction with the Cu-Pc molecules tilted by an angle of similar to32degrees from the (110) surface plane
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Angle-resolved Auger-photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (AR-APECS) of the Ge(100) surface
No full textWe have measured the angular distribution of Ge L(3)M(45)M(45) Auger electrons in coincidence with Ge 2p(3/2) core photoelectrons along the (001) azimuth of the Ge(100) surface. Intensity modulations arising from diffraction effects are suppressed in the coincidence Auger angular distribution and, when specific emission angles of the photoelectrons are considered, new features appear. We attribute the former effect to enhanced surface specificity of the coincidence technique and the latter to sensitivity of the coincidence measurement to alignment of the core hole state
